VIDEO: “How to Emulsify Sauces,” by International Culinary Center, YouTube (June 14, 2013), 2<br />

minutes. In this video, chef Sixto Alonso demonstrates how using an emulsifier—mustard, in this<br />

case—can allow oil <strong>and</strong> vinegar to mix <strong>and</strong> stay in solution to make a salad dressing<br />

STEROLS<br />

Sterols have a very different structure from triglycerides <strong>and</strong> phospholipids. Most sterols do<br />

not contain any fatty acids but rather are multi-ring structures, similar to chicken wire. They<br />

are complex molecules that contain interlinking rings of carbon atoms, with side chains of<br />

carbon, hydrogen, <strong>and</strong> oxygen attached.<br />

Cholesterol is the best-known sterol because of its role in heart disease. It forms a large<br />

part of the fatty plaques that narrow arteries <strong>and</strong> obstruct blood flow in atherosclerosis.
